St Andrew's Church, Histon is a friendly church at the heart of the village community. We love to welcome newcomers, develop our friendships with one another and reach out to those in need. On Sundays we have worship from Common Worship with organ and choir through to informal worship with a band. We place a particular emphasis on biblical preaching and teaching. 

We run many groups for teens and children and have an extensive ministry to the elderly including those who are housebound, in sheltered housing and care homes.
